Once we arrived in Livingston TX, (technically our “home” town) we took care of some business. We are having our wills, powers of attorney, etc. re-written, now that we are TX residents. We had our initial appointment before our trip to Boston, which gave the attorney a few days to type them up while we were gone. We met with the lady who offered to keep an eye on the cat, and got all our laundry done, Once we did all that, we were ready to go!!
I’m very happy we decided to fly to Boston for the weddings. Of course, I would have been much happier if the weddings had been on different days, or even different weekends. Both were important enough that we would have tried to fly back for each of them. We attended the actual ceremony of my cousin Greg’s wedding. This picture is of him watching his bride walk down the aisle.
This picture is of him walking down the aisle 31 years ago when he was the ring bearer at my first wedding. His mother was terrified because I insisted that a ring bearer should carry the real rings!
Greg and Jen exchange rings.
Greg and Jen with his parents, my uncle Bob and aunt Tish, two of my favorite people!
After sticking around that reception long enough to eat dinner, we hightailed it out to the second reception. I would have loved to have watched Christina walk down the aisle, since I’ve been friends with her since she was 11 years old. Her parents are two of our best friends, even though we don’t see them too often! We are trying to convince them to move to Arizona. We may succeed yet! Their daughter Dina gave birth to her first child, in Arizona, on her sister’s wedding day. (their mom-Roseann, didn’t get much sleep the night before the wedding! Constant text updates on the labor progression!!). They were hoping that Dina would be able to Skype to watch the wedding ceremony, but she was a little busy!
Christina and her brother Mark. We also got to spend time with a bunch of other good friends,all of whom we know from our boating days in MA. At one time we all had a boat on the same dock at the marina, and spent years partying together!
Sunday we got together with my family at my brother’s house, where we ate, played cards and watched the Patriots win a football game.
Our last day, Monday, we spent the day with Stephen, ending up at one of our favorite Mexican restaurants for dinner. We had an awesome trip, but the days passed too quickly.
Back in Livingston, we are taking care of “stuff”. We met with the attorney and finalized the documents we need, Paul updated his driver’s license to the correct “class” for towing a trailer and we voted. Tomorrow we’ll weigh the rig and the truck again because the weighing equipment here is state-of-the-art, and it’s always a good idea to know what your vehicles weigh. From there we head south of Houston for more partying!
